Hey you did it again! You took a single person from an entire instance and assumed they represent the entirety of a group.

I knew misogynist @hakase@lemmy.zip wouldn’t disappoint with more logical fallacies :)

I presume since you’re so fundamentally opposed to feminism and gender equality that the label “misogynist” is accurate.

Starting watching Love Overboard. It’s so perfectly trashy.

It certainly got a reaction out of you, so I think this art piece did its job here.

It hasn’t been approved yet - the title is misleading. The US has requested Reddit appear for a grand jury hearing by April 14.

Fuck TERFs

Clearly feminism hasn’t gone far enough.

It’s a logical fallacy to take a single person and assume an entire movement based on her views alone.

It’s not my job to coddle you because I’m a woman.

Yeah your single (female) boss represents all feminists and the feminist movement.

Great detective work there.

But only B randomly accosts male strangers on the street, interrogating them about the sex ratio at their workplace, and chastising them if it isn’t at least 50% female, regardless of what line of work he is in.

This is your definition of a raging feminist?

It is possible to support a cause, even emphatically, without being insufferable.

The original comment before the edit makes it clear this user has disdain for feminists that are too insufferable to his tastes.

Thus my skepticism at why he had to mention what year the tweet/artwork was from.

it is absolutely possible to move away from ‘raging feminist’ without moving one iota closer to ‘complicit in dehumanization’.

That’s not an objectively true statement.

You’ve completely fabricated that motive/intent, so yeah. Do you not know what “emphatically” means? I made it very clear that ‘insufferability’ has nothing to do with the ‘loudness’ of the actions.

Women can protest their subjugation as long as they aren’t insufferable about it.

Yeah, I understood your comment.

Your entire first comment boils down to “women should protest their inequalities in quieter ways”, so yeah.

Why does it matter whether it’s recent or not?

assuming it was a deliberate act on his part, which you didn’t state outright but implied, is in a completely different ballpark from the simple fact that men naturally sit with their knees further apart than women, pretty much without exception. And the vast majority of men who, when they notice, or it’s brought to their attention, that they happen to be spread out enough that it’s taking up another seat, will readily adjust themselves to accommodate the other person, because they’re obviously not acting maliciously.

It was definitely malicious as his hand found its way onto my thigh during that bus ride as well.

How does one not realize they’re pressing their leg into someone that is scrunched up and trying to get away from them? You think men are just dumb and oblivious to everything besides themselves? That’s not a very charitable view of men in general tbh. I find men to be much smarter than that, they just choose their own comfort over others often.

The “manspread” phenomenon is absolutely gendered behavior and you can find a lot of discourse about it over many years.

One can be a raging feminist without being a misandrist quite easily.

In fact it’s a core belief of feminism that all the genders are equal.

So tiny!! Thanks for sharing!

P.S. This is from 2018, for anyone who thinks it’s a recent happening.

And?

I’m serious - what’s the point in saying what year this piece of art was produced? Are you trying to imply that feminism is no longer needed in 2026?

Considering the art teacher appreciated and liked her submission, maybe assuming the teacher’s intent is misguided.

Edit on further reflection:

It is possible to support a cause, even emphatically, without being insufferable. I’m reminded of an occasion a number of years back, when a friend of a friend who, just after we all sat down to order dinner, ranted for minutes, completely unprompted, about how chairs are shaped in a misogynistic way, which led into the nonsensical claim that, on average, males sit with their knees further apart than females, as a deliberate act of patriarchal intimidation, not simply because the difference in pelvis shape makes those positions more comfortable/default for those bodies.

There is certainly plenty of times that men sit with legs more spread due to comfort, for sure. No argument there that it is more comfortable.

There are also times that men choose to be oblivious to the comfort of those around them in certain situations ie: on public transportation, sports games, and the like where one may be close in proximity to another’s body.

I’ve personally had men use this “manspread” in order to press their thigh against mine in a very uncomfortable way when I could not easily escape their presence.

So to take a single conversation and boil it down to only 1 reason why men sit that way is pretty disingenuous.

What’s wrong with being a raging feminist?
